nCube
:
Able-bodied paupers by gender and age

nCubes hold all the statistics presented by the Vision of
Britain system, and are defined as combinations of variables.
For example, the age-sex tables that appear in most census
reports are held as two-dimensional nCubes in which one
dimension is a variable categorising sex and the other
variable defines a set of age groups. nCubes can have many
dimensions, such as age by sex by occupation by cause of
death, or just one.

The exact meaning of the term 'able-bodied', as used in the Poor Law
system, is a matter of some controversy but is generally understood to
exclude the aged and infirm, and 'lunatics', but to include large
numbers who were temporarily ill.
The system's reports consistently divide those receiving relief into
Men, Women and Children.

Data map listing

Each of our datasets, or nCubes, combines one or more variables (Var)
each of which consists of a set of categories. The data map lists all the
possible combinations of categories. The cell references are the identifiers
held in our main table of statistics, recording what each number measures.
